RE: LORD OF TIME

(Your Chaos Bloodline has successfully assimilated the Apex Grade Vampire Bloodline.)

(Your Chaos Bloodline is fully awakened.)

(Your Bloodline Ability—Chaos Evolution has been triggered.)

(The Apex Grade Vampire Bloodline has evolved into Origin Grade Bloodline.)

(You have received Bloodline Ability—Super Regeneration.)

(You have received Bloodline Ability—Blood Manipulation.)

(You have received Bloodline Ability—Eternal Night.)

(You have received Bloodline Ability—Immortal Blood Heart.)

(You have received title—Progenitor’s Blood.)

William looked at the notifications flashing before his eyes, his crimson-red eyes glowing slightly under the dim lighting within the cave.

Two jet-black wings, each with a diameter of about three meters slowly flapped behind his back, making him hover in midair.

’So that’s the reason behind the awakening of my Chaos Bloodline...’ He muttered inwardly with a thoughtful look, going through the information about his bloodline that just appeared in his mind.

”Will...” Vivian’s somewhat anxious, but more so shocked voice reached his ears.

William looked at her, and a smile appeared on his face.

Woosh!

The two wings on his back disappeared, and he calmly landed on his feet.

”Don’t worry, I am fine now,” He said, gently stroking her cheeks.

Vivian placed her hand over his as she stared at his blood-red eyes and platinum-white hair.

”Are you... a vampire now?” She asked in a hesitant voice.

Although she could feel the aura of a vampire coming from him, it was somewhat different.

It was like the aura of a vampire, but at the same time, it wasn’t.

This strange phenomenon really confused her.

William shook his head at Vivian’s question and calmly explained.

”I am still a human. It’s just that...” He stroked his platinum-white hair and smiled wryly. ”Now I also have the bloodline of a vampire, and I can use their abilities.”

”Still a human, but you have the bloodline of a vampire...” Vivian was startled when she heard William’s words and looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was trying to say.

Moreover, another thing that confused her was the sense of superiority she was feeling from his bloodline.

It was as if its grade was higher than her own Apex Grade Bloodline.

”How should I explain...” William muttered upon noticing her confused expression and glanced at his status window, looking at the details of his Chaos Bloodline.

====

---) Chaos Bloodline: A forbidden bloodline originating from the Primal Chaos. You can devour the bloodline origins of other bloodlines and assimilate them into your own. The number of Bloodlines you can assimilate without mutating into a grotesque being depends on your level.

---) Bloodline Abilities: Chaos Evolution, Bloodline Severance, ???

---) Chaos Evolution: After assimilating a bloodline, there is a fifty percent probability that the grade of the assimilated bloodline will increase by one.

---) Bloodline Severance: You can strip your assimilated bloodlines and grant them to others. Using this ability heavily injures your own bloodline origin.

---) Current number of Bloodlines you can assimilate without mutating: 1

---) Assimilated Bloodline: Vampire Bloodline (Origin Grade)

---) Assimilated Bloodline Abilities: Super Regeneration, Blood Manipulation, Eternal Night, Immortal Blood Heart, ???

The Vampire Bloodline had been assimilated into William’s Chaos Bloodline rather than replacing it.

His race was still human, but his Chaos Bloodline had incorporated the Vampire Bloodline and its abilities, making it possible for him to use its ability without changing his race.

William thought for a moment before explaining his Chaos Bloodline to Vivian.

As Vivian listened, her eyes first showed confusion, but gradually, they widened in disbelief.

”Are you serious?” She asked in a low voice, feeling her throat go dry.

Everything that William told her was enough to blow anyone’s mind.

Especially the fact that he was able to assimilate the bloodlines of other races into his own.

But what truly stunned her was the fact that his bloodline even had the ability to increase the grade of the Bloodline he assimilated.

Since he had assimilated her bloodline just now, he now possessed an Origin Grade Bloodline, a bloodline on the same level as the Blood Ancestor.

William stared at Vivian’s incredulous expression and suddenly had an idea.

Cough!

He coughed lightly to attract her attention and spoke seriously.

”Little Girl, this Ancestor came from the past. I see this world has changed a lot compared to my time. Since you are the future descendant of this Ancestor, how about you give me a tour of this place?”

Vivian’s mouth twitched violently when she heard William’s words, and she did not know whether to laugh or cry at his absurd words.

Seeing the speechless look on Vivian’s face, William laughed and gently patted her head.

”Don’t worry too much. Who cares what kind of Bloodline I have? It’s not like anything is going to change between us.”

Vivian’s thoughts paused for a second when she heard William’s words, and she finally smiled, nodding.

”I was just worried that suddenly getting such a powerful bloodline might affect you in some way.” She hugged him and suddenly noticed another detail.

”Your height also increased.”

After his recent breakthroughs, William’s height had reached 180 cm. But now, he was almost 185 cm tall, appearing slightly taller than Vivian.

”Must be because my entire body was reconstructed earlier when my bloodline was awakening...” William remembered the pain of his bones snapping one after another and still felt his scalp tingling.

That process was really too painful.

But thanks to that process, his physical strength increased greatly. Moreover, after assimilating the Origin Grade Vampire Bloodline, his already enhanced physical strength increased even further, making him feel as though he could now defeat even Star Commander-level beings using nothing but his physical strength.

Vivian rested her head against William’s chest, listening to his heartbeat. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her lips arched upward.

”Now that I think about it, you must be the weakest person to possess an Origin Grade Bloodline.”

”Huh?” William was taken aback and asked in confusion. ”What do you mean?”

Vivian pulled her head back and blinked her eyes.

”I heard that when Progenitors were born, they already had enough strength to fight against Gods. You also have the blood of a Progenitor within you, but your strength...” Vivian shook her head with a teasing smile.

William’s mouth twitched when he saw her teasing smile, and he snorted coldly.

Slap!

A sound of a slap echoed across the cave, and Vivian immediately jumped back, rubbing her buttocks with a look of disbelief.

”You...” She stared at William in shock, still finding it hard to believe that she had been spanked.

”That’s what you get for teasing your husband...” He spoke in a haughty voice.

Though inwardly, his mind was already working rapidly, trying to find a way out for himself.

’Damn you, disobedient hand...’ He cursed his own hand, which couldn’t keep itself in check.

Seeing Vivian staring at him without saying anything, William felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

Just then, he remembered something and quickly spoke.

”Honey, our Eternal Blood Pact didn’t fail, right?”

Hearing William, Vivian also remembered the Eternal Blood Pact and quickly sensed it.

Immediately afterward, a smile appeared on her face as she could feel a deep connection with William.

William felt the same, and he could sense a connection with Vivian.

At the same time, when William looked at his status window, he noticed that he had obtained the Blood Manipulation skill from Vivian after their pact.

However, this skill was automatically assimilated into the Blood Manipulation ability he had received from his bloodline.

’Did Vivian also receive an ability from my bloodline?’ William thought, and a curious look appeared on his face.

His bloodline was Chaos, and currently, it had two abilities: Chaos Evolution and Bloodline Severance.

As for the question marks beside his abilities, they represented the other abilities of his bloodline. However, they were currently locked because his level wasn’t high enough to unlock them.

Even his assimilated Origin Grade Vampire Bloodline had many other abilities, but they were currently locked because of his own lack of power.

’It’s impossible for her to get the abilities that are locked. Does it mean she might have received Chaos Evolution or Bloodline Severance?’

As he thought of this, William’s expression turned strange because other than him, who had the Chaos Bloodline, these two abilities were useless to others. They wouldn’t be able to use them even if they wanted to.

”Vivian, what ability did you receive?”

He looked at Vivian and asked.

However, the instant he looked at her, William saw Vivian’s eyes glowing bright red as she stared at him with a smile on her face.

’I have a bad feeling about this...’

He had barely finished the thought when, in the next instant, Vivian jumped on him.
